EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Mission to Lepers in India" takes us back to the 19th century, shedding light on a significant chapter in history. The image showcases the Subathu Leper Asylum nestled amidst the majestic Himalayas, serving as a sanctuary for those afflicted by leprosy. A group of dedicated missionaries can be seen within the mission premises, their unwavering commitment evident in their presence. They tirelessly work towards providing solace and care to these marginalized individuals who have been shunned by society due to this debilitating disease. The scene captures both the beauty of the Indian landscape and the harsh reality faced by lepers during that time. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's capacity for compassion and empathy even in challenging circumstances. Through this engraving, we gain insight into Indian culture and its response to leprosy at that time. It also highlights how missions like these played an essential role in raising awareness about leprosy while offering medical aid and support. As we reflect upon this historical artwork, let us remember those who selflessly dedicated themselves to helping others overcome adversity. Their efforts not only brought relief but also fostered understanding and acceptance within society. This powerful image is a testament to human resilience and our ability to bring hope where it is most needed.
